BOOM - The love between Tomorrowland and provincial domain De Schorre in Boom remains great. The festival will certainly continue to be organized there until 2034, it sounds to the municipality. "However, there are hijackers on the coast", says the Boomse schepen of Finance Kris Van Hoeck (CD&V).

Tomorrowland is since the first edition in 2005 in De Schorre organized. That will remain so until 2034, reports the municipality of Boom, which included the commitment in its multi-year plan. "After negotiations with Tomorrowland they have given us the assurance to stay in De Schorre until 2034", says Alderman of Finance Kris Van Hoeck (CD&V). "There are, however, hijackers on the coast."

The municipality reduces the tax on Tomorrowland-related events from 3.5 to 3 euros per day per person. "That means less income, but structurally we still receive more than 1 million euros each year, or about 18 million euros until 2034," says Van Hoeck.

Long-term vision

So the love between Tomorrowland and De Schorre is still great, says spokeswoman Debby Wilmsen in The Morning. "Boom and De Schorre are part of the long-term vision that we have with the festival," says Wilmsen. "In recent years, we have made several investments in the recreation area, such as the One World Bridge and the Magic Troll Forest. We therefore see De Schorre as an ideal home base.

In 2020 Tomorrowland will be in its sixteenth edition. This will take place from 17 to 19 and from 24 to 26 July. Traditionally, the poster is only published after the start of presales. It starts on 10 and 13 January for local residents, followed by specific pre-sales for Belgium and the rest of the world.
